An interesting interview with a RAF Chinook pilot.

The old Wessex behind this guy in the first part of the interview reminds me of this helicopter:

I hope the Wessex and the Sikorsky S58 will be introduced as next DCS modules right after the Chinook release and the Hind getting the same awesome maintenance hatches as the Apache.... aw one can dream...

This Chinook version looks awesome, the FLIR or laser targeting device, and that search light in the front rotor strut (or however this part is called in a Chinook) are especially alluring.

Really enjoyed the interview. Hope the DCS CH-47 is as realistic as this pilot describes.

Very good video, thanks for sharing! 

I can also recommend this book, which describes great insights and personal experiences from a Chinook pilot. Absolutely amazing.
